176: Chapter 176 Be good!

Although Ye Qingqing's mind was also a chaotic mess at this moment, she was still much more rational than Huo Sixian.

Her hands pressed against Huo Sixian's chest, trying to push him away.

But Huo Sixian captured Ye Qingqing's lips.

All of Ye Qingqing's resistance was drowned in this kiss.

As her body felt light and airy, Ye Qingqing felt a wave of coolness wash over her.

When she opened her eyes, Ye Qingqing discovered that she and Huo Sixian were soaking in the bathtub together.

When Ye Qingqing woke up again, Huo Sixian was propping his head up and watching her.

The smile in his eyes was completely unconcealed.

Ye Qingqing suddenly realized that this guy, Huo Sixian, clearly wasn't being controlled by that scent at all.

Everything that happened afterward was entirely voluntary on Huo Sixian's part.

Ye Qingqing was instantly fuming with rage.

She reached out and pinched Huo Sixian's abs, giving them a fierce twist.

Huo Sixian winced in pain and pleaded for mercy, "Good wife, I was wrong."

Ye Qingqing felt even angrier.

Her face flushed bright red. "Who's your wife!"

Huo Sixian raised both hands, quickly begging for forgiveness.

He said in a low, teasing voice, "If we don't go out soon, we'll be discovered."

Ye Qingqing checked the outside of the Space; looking at the time, it was almost night.

It was indeed time to head out.

Ye Qingqing grumbled as she climbed out of bed. After tidying herself up and getting dressed, she went out to find Ah Huang.

When Ah Huang saw Ye Qingqing, he immediately began to whimper and whine aggrievedly.

But after catching the strong scent of Huo Sixian on Ye Qingqing, Ah Huang became unhappy again.

Ah Huang was already upset about being locked in the Space, and Ye Qingqing had been spending all her time there with that Huo Sixian.

Ah Huang felt very wronged.

Nothing less than a long session of petting could soothe the grievance in Ah Huang's heart.

"Wooo~~~~"

"Wooo~~~~"

"Wooo~~~~"

Ah Huang howled for a long time, and Ye Qingqing felt guilty.

Since getting together with Huo Sixian, the time she spent with Ah Huang had indeed decreased.

Furthermore, she had kept Ah Huang locked in the Space for the past two days.

"Good Ah Huang, don't cry. I still like you the most."

"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll spend all my time with you and ignore Huo Sixian, okay?"

Ah Huang was incredibly shrewd. Upon hearing Ye Qingqing say this, his attitude changed instantly.

Light immediately returned to the dog's eyes.

But soon, Ye Qingqing's next words made the light in Ah Huang's eyes vanish again.

"But I have to go out now. I'll come back to the Space to keep you company once I'm finished."

After Ye Qingqing spoke and gave Ah Huang's puppy head a few kisses, Ah Huang finally let out a soft, ostensibly understanding whimper.

Signaling that he understood.

Huo Sixian stood behind Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang.

"It's time to go out."

Ye Qingqing patted Ah Huang's head. "We're leaving. Be a good boy here in the Space by yourself, okay?"

After Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian left the Space, they went to the living room.

Just as they were wondering what to do that evening...

There was a knock at the door.

When Huo Sixian got up to open the door, he found it was Xiao Mei.

However, this time, Xiao Mei was carrying a lot of food.

It was all fresh vegetables, meat, eggs, and even milk.

A flash of surprise also crossed Huo Sixian's eyes.

He could understand the vegetables; after all, the Official Base did provide fresh vegetables, though in limited quantities since they were all grown in greenhouses.

But this young lady had actually brought in luxuries like milk.

The meat was also fresh, still dripping with beads of blood.

"Venerables, this is today's ration for the two of you from the base. Please accept it."

Huo Sixian nodded, signaling Xiao Mei that she could just put it inside.

But after putting it down, Xiao Mei added another sentence.

"Venerables, the Master of the Base heard that you are SSS-Rank Espers, so he wishes to summon you."

Xiao Mei used the word 'summon,' and both Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing understood what that likely implied.

Huo Sixian gave a hum of acknowledgment. "When should we go?"

Xiao Mei smiled slightly. "It's like this: before the Venerables head to the Central Hall, you will need to wash and bathe. Someone will arrive shortly to attend to you both."

This made Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian a bit uncomfortable.

Ye Qingqing quickly said, "No need, we can go by ourselves."

But Xiao Mei just looked at Ye Qingqing with a smile on her face.

Ye Qingqing knew she couldn't win this argument with Xiao Mei, and since they were in someone else's base, they had to follow their wishes.

"Alright then."

After Xiao Mei finished speaking, there was more movement outside the door.

"Venerables."

A long line of people arrived at the door one after another.

It was like a scene out of a tv series from before the Post-Apocalyptic World.

A long line of women wearing floor-length black robes appeared outside, each with a standard smile on her face.

They were carrying a row of clothes, with styles for both men and women.

Furthermore, these clothes were all in the style of evening gowns and formal wear.

Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian were stunned. Weren't they going to see the boss of this base?

Why did it feel like they were about to attend a banquet?

"This is..." Ye Qingqing couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Mei explained promptly, "Because the Master of the Base likes beauty, he requires every Ability User he meets to be properly groomed and dressed up."

A moment of speechlessness flashed through both Ye Qingqing's and Huo Sixian's eyes, but what choice did they have?

When under another's roof, one must bow one's head.

Since Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian had already washed up in the Space, Ye Qingqing's face was completely uncovered today.

Her face was fully exposed.

Because Xiao Mei had leaned in close to Ye Qingqing's face the previous night...

Ye Qingqing paid extra attention to Xiao Mei today.

She clearly noticed a hint of surprise in Xiao Mei's eyes when she saw her face just now.

Although it was well-hidden, Ye Qingqing still easily caught it.

That fleeting look of surprise.

But soon, Ye Qingqing could no longer observe Xiao Mei.

Because Ye Qingqing was escorted into the dressing room by numerous Xiao Meis.

They began to try clothes on Ye Qingqing.

Seeing one of the Xiao Meis about to reach out and unbutton her clothes...

Ye Qingqing immediately shouted, "I can change by myself!"

Ye Qingqing tightly clutched the clothes at her chest as she spoke to the many Xiao Meis in front of her.

One of the Xiao Meis said with a smile, "Very well, Venerable. Which garment would you like?"

Ye Qingqing's lips twitched as she looked at the row of evening gowns in front of her that exposed arms and legs.

They came in all colors, but they were all very revealing.

Ye Qingqing picked through them and finally chose a floor-length, backless gown. It was red and very vibrant.

Yet this one was actually the most conservative piece among them.
